Account-Based Marketing

The ten accounts that would change your year deserve more than a newsletter. We help you win them.

When one account is worth six or seven figures, scattergun marketing wastes it. We run ABM that treats your priority accounts like the markets they are, with plays built to land them.

Why ABM works in industrial and technology B2B

When a single account can be worth six or seven figures, spreading effort evenly across thousands of prospects wastes most of it. The buying group inside one target account contains several people who each need a different argument. ABM lets you reach all of them with a coordinated message rather than a generic blast. In technical markets, where credibility is everything, that focus is what earns the meeting.

What changes when ABM is running

Sales and marketing stop working from different lists. Everyone targets the same named accounts, sees the same engagement signals, and acts on the same next step. Marketing spend concentrates on accounts that can actually close, and sales walks into conversations already warmed by relevant content. Wasted reach falls and win rates on target accounts climb.

What changes for you

What we provide:

  • Tiered target account lists scored on fit and intent, not guesswork
  • Account plays tailored to one, a few or many accounts depending on value
  • Coordinated activation across paid, email, content, social and direct outreach
  • Sales and marketing aligned on the same accounts, signals and next actions
  • Account-level reporting on engagement, pipeline and influenced revenue

Account-based marketing concentrates your effort where the revenue is. Instead of casting wide and hoping, we define the accounts worth winning, build a play for each tier, and activate across the channels their buying group actually uses. This is the delivery pillar, the team that builds the lists, ships the campaigns and coordinates sales and marketing into a single motion against named accounts.

We have run this for technical B2B audiences where the deals are large and the buying group is wide. For HMS Networks a coordinated, data-led approach contributed to a 35:1 media return and a cost per sales ready lead cut from around £760 to £72. ABM applies that same discipline to a named set of accounts you most want to convert.

Bring us the twenty, fifty or two hundred accounts you most want to win, and we will design the plays that reach them.

Not suitable for all businesses

This fits if you are

ABM suits organisations with large deals, wide buying groups and a knowable set of accounts worth winning. These are the teams it serves best.

Industrial and manufacturing businesses chasing a defined list of major customers where one win materially moves the number.

Electronics and technology firms selling complex products into committees, where each stakeholder needs a different argument.

Distribution and channel organisations whose priority accounts are strategic partners and resellers.

IT and software providers targeting named enterprise accounts where the sales cycle is long and the buying group is wide.

Not the right engagement if

  • You have not agreed which accounts actually matter with your sales team.
  • You want volume leads rather than depth on a named target list.
  • There is no sales capacity to run coordinated plays on priority accounts.

How we deliver this

1

Step 1: Build and tier the list

Weeks 1 to 2

We define the ideal account profile with you, score accounts on fit and intent, and tier them into one-to-one, one-to-few and one-to-many. Sales signs off the list before any play is built.

Outcome

An agreed, tiered target account list everyone is committed to pursuing.

2

Step 2: Design the plays

Weeks 3 to 5

We build the right play for each tier, the messaging for each role in the buying group, and the channel mix that reaches them. Sales and marketing actions are coordinated into one motion.

Outcome

Ready-to-run plays mapped to accounts, roles and channels, with sales aligned on their part.

3

Step 3: Activate and coordinate

Weeks 5 onward

We launch across channels, surface engagement signals into your CRM, and coordinate timing so marketing and sales touch each account in sequence rather than at random.

Outcome

Live, coordinated activation with account engagement visible to both teams in real time.

4

Step 4: Measure and embed

Ongoing

We report at the account level, scale the plays that work, and document the programme so your team can run and extend it. Ownership transfers to you by design.

Outcome

A measured, owned ABM programme with influenced pipeline you can prove and a model your team controls.

Proof over promises

The question is who builds it, and who owns it afterwards

Why Teylu over a generic agency

A generalist will buy you an ABM tool licence and run display ads at a list. We build the play around your accounts, write credibly for technical buying groups, and coordinate it with your sales team account by account. The focus on the buyer, not the tool, is what makes it work.

Against an enterprise agency

Quarters, not weeks

Six month discovery phases and a quarter million before a single dashboard exists. We work in weeks, with senior people on every call and pricing itemised line by line.

Proven across the channel

We have run account-based work for distribution and channel businesses such as Arrow ECS, where the priority accounts are partners and resellers rather than direct end customers. The targeting logic differs, and we build the plays for that reality.

Start small, own everything

We run ABM in three stages. The Diagnostic entry defines your ideal account profile, scores and tiers the list, and agrees the play design. The Build core stage constructs the plays, content and activation across channels and wires signals into your CRM. The Embedded ongoing stage runs, coordinates and optimises the programme on a monthly retainer sized to the number of accounts and tiers in play.

Pricing is built line by line and shared in full, so finance can see what each tier and channel costs and why. There are no opaque contingency blocks and no enterprise platform licence buried in the total, because the programme runs on infrastructure you own. Enterprise grade thinking without the enterprise overhead.

Account-based marketing questions, answered

How is this different from your ABM strategy service?

ABM strategy sets the targeting model: who your ideal accounts are, how to tier them and how the plays should be designed. This pillar is the delivery team that builds the lists, ships the plays and coordinates activation across channels. Clients often buy the strategy first, then this pillar to run it, but either works on its own.

How many accounts should we target?

It depends on deal size and buying group complexity. One-to-one plays suit a handful of marquee accounts, one-to-few works for clusters in the dozens, and one-to-many programmatic ABM can cover hundreds. We usually start with a pilot tier, prove the model, then scale on the engagement evidence.

Do we own the account data and the programme, or rent it from you?

You own it. The account lists, scoring logic, plays and reporting all sit on infrastructure you already own. There is no enterprise ABM platform licence to keep paying, and if our engagement ends the programme and the knowledge stay with your team. You invest in an account-based engine you keep, not access that disappears at renewal.

How do sales and marketing stay aligned?

We agree the target list with sales before any play is built, surface engagement signals into your CRM, and coordinate the timing of marketing and sales touches account by account. Both teams see the same accounts and the same signals, which is what stops them working from different lists.

How quickly will we see results?

List build and first plays are usually live within four to six weeks. Account engagement appears early, while influenced pipeline on the largest accounts builds over the following quarters because their buying cycles are long. We pair slower one-to-one plays with faster one-to-many activity so the programme shows momentum early.
